For the album, Yearwood recorded the timeless tracks live with an orchestra at the iconic Capitol Records building in Hollywood using Sinatra’s microphone and sitting on the same stool where he sat while recording the originals.

On the album cover, Yearwood rocks a variation of Sinatra’s signature look, including a crisp white dress shirt, coat and tie. She topped off her cover look with a black fedora tipped over one eye.

The “How Do I Love” singer, who is just coming off a record-breaking world tour with husband Garth Brooks, previously paid tribute to Sinatra with a performance of “I’ll Be Seeing You” during CBS’ Sinatra 100 — An All-Star Grammy Concert in 2015.
